Fill in the Blank Friday

It's Friday again (YAY!) and time for Lauren's Fill in the Blank Friday. This week is about vacations which works out well since we are going on a mini beach vacation this weekend :)

1. If I didn't have to work anymore I would... ok well if I didn't have to work anymore, I think I would still want to. I actually like working and if I could do something just because I loved it and not for money I think that would be perfect.. like opening my own small business where it didn't matter how successful it ever became just as long as I was enjoying it. Sounds good right? Maybe one day.. haha

2. My favorite thing about a vacation is not having to wake up to an alarm clock.. I seriously hate that sound.

3. When packing for a trip I always overpack. It's somewhat of a problem and even though I always try to only pack what I will actually need, I still end up with a ton of extra stuff.

4. If I could go on a road trip with anyone (dead OR alive) I would choose.. not to sound cheesey, but I would choose my husband, because, we have been on a few together and I have always really enjoyed it and it's a great way to spend time just talking about anything, and we would go on a cross country road trip. We talk a lot about wanting to drive from here to CA and make tons of stops along the way to really see some of the places we wouldn't normally travel to. Hopefully one day ;)

5. My top 3 absolute travel essentials are 1) an updated ipod 2) water and snacks 3) a good book.

6. Vacations are always much needed.

7. On vacation you must always make sure to take some time for yourself and really get a chance to just relax for a litlte bit :) 

HAPPY FRIDAY! Hope you all have a great holiday weekend! ;o)

Fill in the Blank Friday

It's FRIDAY (finally!!) and time for Lauren's Fill in the Blank Friday. Make sure to check out her blog to join in :)

1. The most adventurous thing I've ever done is ... well, I guess I am kind of boring because I can't think of too many things for this.. but one time my freshman year (after one too many drinks..) at Virginia Tech, Vince and I jumped the fence at the football stadium in middle of the night. I know, it doesn't sound that crazy, but I could have been suspended from school if I had been caught.. haha (see... seriously boringggg)

2. If I were a pair of shoes I would be a pair of really cute high heeled boots... I know kind of weird.. but I love the fall and I looove boots! And now that the summer is ending I am starting to get excited about being able to wear them again soon :) .

3. My preferred mode of digital communication is.. well texting is obviously one of the easiest and most convenient ways for quick communication, but honestly.. I think I still prefer actually talking on the phone to someone best.

4. I feel happiest when I am with Vince and Ty doing nothing but lounging around the house ;)

5. A little dream I have for my life is to start a family... preferably sooner rather than later <3

6. The one modern convenience I could NOT do without is my GPS. I haven't even had it for 2 years yet and I already depend on it all of the time. I used to read maps or print out directions, but now I just look up an adress, put it in the Garmin and head on my way.. I have NO idea what I would do if I had to go back to real maps again lol.

7. Music, movies, TV or books: if I could only choose one to enjoy I would pick books. TV was definitely a close second choice, but books you can take anywhere and I really do enjoy curling up with a good book.

Happy Friday everyone.. hope you all have a great weekend! :o)

Fill In the Blank Friday

I know, I know.. I have been MIA recently. Honestly, there is no real excuse, I normally blog in the evenings after work and I just haven't been on the computer much at night lately. So I apologize and I am going to try to be much much better this week!

Besides.. nothing too exciting has happened in the past couple of week, so you didn't miss much haha. This weekend I am heading down to Virginia to see my grandparents for the weekend. Just me, Vince has to work until about 10:30 tonight and since it's 6 hours away if I waited for him it would just be too late to drive that far... but I am actually looking forward to a weekend with just them. They have been like second parents to me, and when I was at Virigina Tech I used to go down to see them all of the time and I really miss that. So anyways, those are my plans for this weekend.. what about you guys? Anything fun or exciting going on?

******

OK.. now on to Lauren's Fill in the Blank Friday. You all know how much I love my TV shows, so this weeks topic is perfect for me ;o)

1. My favorite current TV show is One Tree Hill. I am seriously obsessed. I have never watched it as it has aired on tv, but around Christmas time last year I randomly bought season 1 on dvd and ever since then have been hooked. This past week season 7 got released on dvd and I pre-ordered it so I could have it delivered on the release date (see? I told you I was obsessed).

2. The TV character I can relate to most is hmmm this is a hard question... even though there are a few characters whose lives I would LOVE to have.. I'm not sure I can honestly say that I can relate to them all that well (but sometimes I wish I could haha).

3. My life is like (fill in with TV show and why).... I am going to go with Friends for this one. Not that I live in the city or anything like that.. but because I have a core group of really close friends who are all completely different, but also completely inseperable. I think partly because Vince and I have been together for so long we have all of the same friends and over the past 10 years have all just gotten really close.

4. My all time favorite TV show is Beverly Hills 90210. (the original version!)

5. A TV show that is ridiculously stupid, but I continue to watch is Big Brother! This is season 12 and I think that it just continues to get more and more ridiculous every season, but I really can't help but watch (and that show is on 3 times a week, so at times it's a lot of stupidity to deal with. lol).

6. My favorite TV couple is.. this is by far the easiest question on the list (and I know Vince would agree with me on this one..).. Chuck and Blair from Gossip Girl. I. LOVE. THEM.  

7. One TV episode I could watch over and over again is the final 2 hour episode of Dawson's Creek. I know, it was soooo sad... but it was also SO good! 

and just a little side note... even though I listed a number of different shows I watch on  here, it no where comes near to the list of all of the shows I love to watch ;o) just to name a few more tv addictions for me: Grey's, 24, Lost (so sad those last two are both done!), Brothers & Sisters, The Hills, The Bachelor/Bachelorette... and really the list goes on and on.. (I watch way too much tv, and I know it!)

Happy FRIDAY! :o)

Fill in the Blank and Funny Friday

In case you didn't know.. it's FRIDAY :) and that means it's time for Lauren's Fill in the Blank Friday AND Kelly's Funny Fridays (well it also means that Vince and I are leaving this afternoon for our last ski trip of the season haha)... so make sure to go to their blogs and join in the fun too :)

Fill in the blank..

1. Today I am wearing a purple and black flowy shirt with black dress pants and flats.

2. My favorite childhood food was hot dogs (I would seriously ask my mom to make me a hotdog on toast for breakfast when I was little... kind of weird, I know.) and my favorite food now is ...anything MEXICAN. I love it all.

3. A day that I am too busy to shower is a day that I am too busy. (and I promise that very rarely happens! haha)

4. The last movie I saw was Shutter Island and the next movie I want to see is Alice in Wonderland.

5. My favorite smell is clean sheets because, there is nothing better after a long day than curling up in bed with sheets just out of the dryer.

6. A weird little quirk I have is that I have to have my cloest organized by season and color. I know no one but Vince and I see the inside of our closet, but it is still probably the most organized/clean place in my entire house. I know it's odd, but true. 

7. When I take personality quizzes they always say... to be honest, I don't even know the last time I took a personality quiz. I have taken work related quizzes about sales and they always come out I am good at meeting new people and buidling relationships?
 

Funny Friday..

 

 

A friend forwarded me this email earlier in the week with nothing but pictures, and I found them pretty amusing and thought I would pass it along for this weeks Funny Friday (with my additional comments of course lol). The email was titled, "Weddings - and you thought Walmart was bad"... haha ENJOY ;o)

 

Wifey on your butt.. is that really necessary on a wedding dress? (or any clothes for that matter..)

 

I know some people don't want to wear traditional wedding dresses, but this is a bit much..

It's kind of sad that her husband pulling off her garter with his teeth is the most normal part of this picture..

 

It's OK if the groom doesn't want to wear a tux, but CAMO is NOT acceptable at a wedding. Sorry.

REALLY?! It's a wedding people, NOT a halloween party.

That is one classy bride.

 

I'm speechless..

 

 

HAPPY FRIDAY! Hope you all have a great weekend planned!

Fill in the Blank and Funny Friday

Yay, it's FRIDAY :) and that means it's time for Lauren's Fill in the Blank Friday AND Kelly's Funny Fridays... make sure to join in the fun too :)

Fill in the blank..

1. The best day ever was the day I got married. I know it sounds cheesy, but it's so true. Not only was I marrying my best friend and getting ready to start our lives together, but I got to spend the day celebrating with all of the my wonderful family and friends.

2. My favorite meal of the day is dinner because on a week night it means the work day is over and it's time to relax with the hubby and on weekends it means we're going out to eat ;) 

3. This weekend amy and I are finally getting our tattoos.. don't worry there will be pictures later..

4. Never in my life have I done anything crazy like bungee jumping or ski diving.. BUT at some point I would really like to try doing both!

5. The only thing better than it finally being the weekend is it being a weekend with Amy visiting ;-)

6. I could really do with some extra sleep right now. Vince and I stayed up late watching a movie last night and now I am totally regretting that decision... haha.

7. The most recent thing I bought myself was this cute dress from Kohl's last week.

Funny Friday


Ok for this weeks funny Friday.. I got this email that literally made me laugh out loud at work so I thought I would share..

Disorder in the American Courts

These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

ATTORNEY: What gear were you in at the moment of the impact?
WITNESS: Gucci sweats and Reeboks.

***
ATTORNEY: Are you sexually active?
WITNESS: No, I just lie there.

***
ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?
WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?

***
ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken?
WITNESS: Are you shitting me?

***
ATTORNEY: She had three children, right?
WITNESS: Yes..
ATTORNEY: How many were boys?
WITNESS: None.
ATTORNEY: Were there any girls?
WITNESS : Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney?

***
ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual?
WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard.
ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female?
WITNESS: Unless the Circus was in town I'm going with male

***
ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people?
WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight.

***
ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?
WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m.
ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?
WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished.


OK.. sorry that was so long, but you have to admit they were pretty funny!

Happy Friday :)

Fill in the Blank and Funny Friday

It's Friday again, THANK GOODNESS, and that means it's time for Lauren's Fill in the Blank Friday AND Kelly's Funny Fridays. If you aren't doing so already, make sure to join in :)

Fill in the Blank..

1. One thing I MUST do before I die is.. I'm going to have to agree with Lauren on this one and say to be a mom. Even though I am not ready right this moment, it is something I think about a LOT and can't wait to experience.

2. I would rather spend a night in with my husband, a bottle of wine, and a good movie than go out to a bar any day. (well ok most days.. there are times when I would rather get out of the house haha)

3. If I could give my younger self one piece of advice it would be don't stress as much about the little things... especially back in high school, I feel like I used to spend a lot of time worrying about a lot of things that never really mattered to begin with.

4. If I won the lottery tomorrow I'd buy a new house on a nice piece of land and open up my own little boutique.

5. The best surprise ever was last year when Vince planned a surprise trip to the Fingerlakes in NY for my birthday with some of our best friends. There were 8 of us and we had a limo drive us around to a bunch of different wineries and then stayed the night up there... we all had SO much fun and it was definitely the best surprise ever.

6. My biggest fault is not always standing up for myself. It is something I have been working on and have definitely gotten better at, but there are still times when I know I am letting people walk all over me.

7. My biggest strength is... I guess I would have to say being organized and a hard worker. It is something I have always gotten a lot of compliments from bosses and past teachers about.

Lately I have been getting tons of emails with jokes about all of the crazy amounts of snow we have gotten this winter... so these are just a few of the ones that I thought were pretty funny ;)

Happy Friday everyone... hope you all have a great weekend!

Fill in the Blank and Funny Friday

I saw this on Perez Hilton's website last night and it made me laugh so I thought I would post it to go along with Kelly's Funny Fridays :)

I thought this was funny because it is a real ad for PETA.

"Tiger Woods is going after PETA and their latest billboard ad campaign featuring the cheating golf pro and championing spaying and neutering your pets with the catchy tagline:

"Too much sex can be a bad thing.… for little tigers too. Help keep cats (and dogs) out of trouble: Always spay and neuter!"

Pretty clever but Tiger's legal team has already contacted PETA and they seem to be taking a step back saying, "In light of conversations we have had with Mr. Woods' attorneys, plans to run our billboard are on hold at this time." "

I also wanted to join in Lauren's Fill in the Blank Friday questions.. make sure to check out her blog and fill in the blanks too :)

 

1. When I'm nervous I get as red as tomato. Seriously. And if I am extremely nervous I even get red blotches on my chest.. it's not pretty.

 

2. My favorite item in my closet is my leggings and uggs. (at least in the winter... in the spring it would probably be my flip flops or a sundress)

 

3. Taking a bubble bath with scented candles and a good book is my favorite thing to do when I need to relax.

 

4. My favorite childhood memory is going to SeaWorld all of the time when we lived in Florida. My mom and I used to go there every Tuesday night when I was little to see their fireworks show. It was her way of making sure we had time for just us, even after she got remarried to my stepdad we still would go just for mommy/daughter time. (When my mom was in high school.. way before she had me.. she used to work there swimming with in their shows, so we always had free passes to use when I was a kid)

 

5. Something you may not know about me is that I am really shy. Once you know me I don't shut up, but when I first meet people I am extremely quiet and bashful.

 

6. A true friend is one of the most important things in life. It doesn't matter if you have 1 or 10, just as long as you have someone that you can always turn to when you need them. 

 

7. Something I hope people think of when they think of me is that I am honest and loyal.. and nice would be good too! ;)

 

 

Happy FRIDAY everyone! Hope you all have a great weekend planned!

Fill in the blank..

It's FRIDAY! YAY :o)

I don't really have time to write much today, but I wanted to fill in Lauren's Friday fill in the blank post real quick!

1. If I could medal in an olympic event it would be the skiing half pipe.. not that it woud ever happen, but I can dream ;)

2. If I was stranded on a deserted island I'd take Vince and Ty. That's really all I would need... well, OK maybe I would bring a toothbrush and some chapstick too (can't live without chapstick!)

3. Cats are my most irrational fear. Some cats are ok (I have had a few growing up), but the majority just really creep me out. (sorry to any cat lovers out there!)

4. I'd rather vaccum the stairs (my absolute least favoirte chore, especially in a townhouse with lots of stairs) everyday, than have to go to the grocery store everyday. (some of the people in there drive me crazy!)

5. I am really hoping that our house sells! It just got listed on Wednesday, and there are people coming to look at it this weekend so I am looking forward to getting some feedback from buyers!

6. I should really be taking a nap before heading to DC, because I am exhausted from yeseterday... but I am way too excited to waste time sleeping! haha (seriously, I am like a kid on Christmas today lol)

7. One of my favorite things in all the world is getting into a bed with sheets that are just out of the dryer, especially after a long day!

Hope you all have a great weekend!
